The "Pay Our Correctional Officers Fairly Act" proposes to amend title 5, United States Code, to enhance locality pay for specific employees within the Bureau of Prisons. Its primary goal is to reclassify the official worksites of these employees who are currently designated under the "Rest of U.S." pay locality . Under the bill's provisions, such worksites would be considered part of the nearest other established pay locality . If multiple higher-paying localities are within a 200-mile radius, the worksite will be assigned to the one offering the highest comparability payment . This adjustment specifically excludes employees whose worksites are not within 200 miles of any pay locality other than "Rest of U.S." and includes prevailing rate employees in its scope, with implementation set for 180 days post-enactment.
